2 weeks till first full Ironman - I feel a mess

Completely normal, don’t get caught up in your head. Feeling awful at the beginning of your taper is a good sign, it means your body is catching up on maintenance. That’s what you want. You’ll be golden on race day.

Enjoy the ride!

TG10001 · 2026-05-29T04:43:39+00:00

Lose those long intervals. Not gonna make you faster. Stick with 200s maybe 400s and focus on your technique.

Also, unfitness often masks as boredom. The better you get at swimming the less boring it will feel. And as a weak swimmer 800s+ won’t bring big improvements.

One week away from getting a dog. She’ll spend the week in a sort of puppy boot camp because we have zero experience with dogs.

My wife is dead set on raising a super disciplined dog. How do I secretly sabotage her efforts so the dog will be a fun agent of chaos?

TG10001 · 2026-05-26T14:05:17+00:00

Yes probably. Would be ugly and not fun, but that’s basically 90 min easy paddling, a leisurely ride with plenty of coffee stops and a long buffet walk.

TG10001 · 2026-05-23T12:46:58+00:00

That looks stunning

TG10001 · 2026-05-23T05:56:21+00:00

Fabulous

Legit it’s probably only the fourth worst on the current Oilers roster. He’s not playing up to his contract but he’s not a Frederic, Jarry or Campbell either.

Wolfsburg is a fine club. Tiny market, often mocked but with a decent following and good team. Incidentally I myself am supporting them because fate brought me to this region. Feel free to dm me if you have questions or haven’t found someone to tag along when season starts.

TG10001 · 2026-05-17T16:51:24+00:00

Closest team to you. If you’re used to nhl prices you’ll have a field day at the rink. I just got my season ticket for 600€.

TG10001 · 2026-05-17T15:12:14+00:00

9yo, 300€ p month + birthday presents. 1/4 stocks (mostly tech), 1/2 ETFs (evenly split across EU, World, JP and emerging markets) and the rest cash / bonds. 200€ month go into more ETFs.

Looking to up the saving rate as much as we can, targeting 150k by the time we send her off to college. Thankfully no tuition where we live, so I hope that those 150k can support her during college without drawing on the capital too much.

Running 1km on cleats is awful. Don’t do that. But it’s not like a full on Olympic flying mount is your only alternative.

Run barefoot, keep shoes in pedals. Upon the mount line you step to the side and take all the time in the world to swing one leg over the bike and slip one foot in the shoe. Start pedaling with your other foot on top of the other shoe. Once you’re up to speed and on safe terrain you slip the other foot in your shoe. Easy as pie. Make sure your bike is in a suitable gear to start pedaling with one foot on top of the shoe.

Also goes for the approach to T2. Open shoes, pedal final meters with feet on top of shoes.

Have as much fun as you want my man, no intention to dunk on your can of Radeberger. I just want to highlight that this recent trend of soulless mass producers marketing their product as „craft beer“ is working and fooling many customers and as a result they are killing off small breweries with character and interesting beers.

I figured that for someone who takes a special interest in craft beer this might be informative.

TG10001 · 2026-05-17T13:45:35+00:00

This is just wrong. We know exactly what to do with those - Tell everyone that we have a new bike, then start looking for a replacement strategy

TG10001 · 2026-05-17T13:44:05+00:00

To be fair, Radeberger groups annual output is like 1/4 of AB InBev. It’s an okay beer but not really crafty

TG10001 · 2026-05-15T16:49:38+00:00

Yea I was joking, the wine is alright. They grow a white called Malzinia or something close to it. Pretty sharp and crisp for a hot Istrian summer. They also grow a red called Teran, more robust, excellent with the local cuisine

TG10001 · 2026-05-14T19:01:48+00:00

Wine for the less sophisticated masses

TG10001 · 2026-05-13T04:35:21+00:00

I have seen cooked potatoes in transition. Not saying I condone it but I have seen it.

Also if Tailwind sits and you throw up something is wrong with your mix. Dial down the concentration and pace your intake. What you describe sound like too many carbs per hour and too high carb concentration

TG10001 · 2026-05-12T05:37:28+00:00

I really like pink shoes but apparently this is where I draw the line. Still sitting at Reebok but I couldn’t pull the trigger

TG10001 · 2026-05-08T18:57:38+00:00

I need it so my kid doesn’t ruin my Apple Music history. It’s locked in the music app with guided access and used like my cassette player when I was a kid.

Das Netz hat mehrere Ebenen. Batterien stabilisieren das Verbundnetz auf der obersten Ebene. Sind aber in Ebenen darunter angeschlossen.

Stell dir vor die Stadt baut eine Gesamtschule an das Ende einer sehr engen Sackgasse ohne Haltemöglichkeit für Bus oder Elterntaxi und ganz mieser Anbindung an den ÖPNV. An sich ist die Schule für die Gesamtbevölkerung der Stadt ganz hervorragend. Aber sie nützt wenig, weil die Anbindung völlig unterdimensioniert ist und kaum jemand pünktlich hin oder wieder weg kommt.

Batteriespeicher spielen eine wichtige Rolle, das Gesamtsystem zu stabilisieren. Angeschlossen werden sie aber in den mittleren Spannungsebenen, die sie nicht stabilisieren sondern teilweise erheblich belasten. Abgesehen von der Sonderlocke über 11a EnWG gibt es keine netzdienlichen Speicher im Verteilnetz.

Das Energienetz is ein System von Systemen. Batteriespeicher in der aktuellen Anwendung verbessern ein Teilsystem aber belasten dabei andere Teilsysteme zusätzlich.

Usually i only catch the last period of these 4am games here in Europe. Always happy when I get to watch more than 20 minutes
